NURSING Application filed May 31,

It is the object of this invention to produce a nursing bottle thatshall be so constructed that when it is laid on a substantially levelsurface the bottle portion thereof will be in clined at such an anglethat the contents thereof will have a tendency to flow out of the bottleuntil the latter is substantially empty.

With the ordinary nursing bottle it isfrequently the case that the babycan get only a portion of the milk contai ned therein, for

the reasonthat the bottle lays. substantially flat and when it is abouthalf empty the milk no, longerreaches the nlpple In order to overcomethis objection, it is common practice to fold a cloth and place the sameunder the end of the bottle so as to raise the end and cause themilk toflow towards the I when they do, the bottle often rolls off from thesupport, with the result that the CllllCl nipple. I have observed thatmany people fail to raisethe end ofthe bottle and that is deprived of asubstantial part of its food at each meal.

being made It is my object to produce a bottlewhich has means associatedtherewith for causing it to assume a proper incline when it is laid onthe covers of the babys crib; 71th my bottlethe nurse cannot forget togive it the proper incline, as the bottle itself is so formed that itprecludes such anerror from by a person exercising reason ableintelligence.

In order tomore clearly describe my invention, I shall have reference tothe accomig. 1 shows a side elevation of my im- 7 proved bottle Isection taken on line 2+2,

Having described claimed as new is:

1. In combination,

the invention what is a nursing bottle having a substantiallycylindrical liquid conan .jecting outwardly tle near its bottom,

d integral means profrom the body of the botsaid means being distributedsubstantially throughout a circumference of the bottle surface of thebottle for causing the inner to inclinedownwardly towards the neck whenlaid on a substantially level surface.

2. In combination, a nursing bottle having a liquid containing chamberwhose inner sides are parallel with the central axis, and having aportion ofthe outer surface thereof near the bottom of the bottlesubstantially throughout a circumference thereof spaced a greaterdistance from the central axis than the outer surface near the top ofthe bottle, whereby the bottlerwill incline downwardly towards the topwhen laid on a substantially flat surface.

3. A nursing bottle having a liquid containing chamber closed at one endand provided with a neck at the other end, and means near the closed endassociated with the bottle for causing the inner surface of the chamberto incline towards the neck when the bottle is laid on a flat surface,said means comprising an outwardly extending extending,

circumferential flange of greater transverse dimension I than theremaining the bottle. 1

4. A nursing bottle having an outwardly substantially circular flangeabout its lower end, said flange being of greater diameter than theremaining parts of the bottle whereby the latter, when laid on a flatsurface, will-incline towards its neck. 1

,5. A nursing bottle having a substantially cylindrical liquidcontaining chamber, and means near the closed end for causing the bottleto incline downwardly towards its neck when laid on a flat surface, saidmeans comprising a partformed-integral with the bottle and extendingoutwardly substantially throughout a circumference of the bottle.

1 In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
